Build Your Campus Event Once in Slate

Build Your Campus Event Once in Slate
- Link one Slate folder to one guide, and every event becomes a session under a track named for the folder.
- Names, times, locations, and descriptions stay in step with Slate on every sync. Capacity and waitlist settings are copied once, then stay yours in Builder.
- Slate registrants are added to the guide with a status of Created. A change in Builder does not write back to Slate.
- Pausing stops the sync. Removing it leaves the sessions already in the guide.
The room change lands an hour before doors. You fixed it in Slate. The guide still has the old room, because the schedule was built a second time last week. This is for the person who owns the Slate folder, and for the person who would otherwise rebuild it in the app.
The Slate events and sessions connection is the part that stops the second build. Link a folder to a guide, and every event in it becomes a session, with its registrants added automatically. Edit the event in Slate, and the guide follows on the next sync.
What is the Guidebook and Slate events and sessions connection?
It's the part of the Guidebook and Slate integration that turns the events in a Slate folder into sessions in a guide's schedule. Names, times, locations, and descriptions stay in step with Slate on every sync, and anyone who registers in Slate is added to the guide automatically. The data flows one way, so Slate stays the plan of record.
Build it once
Link a folder to a guide and its events show up as sessions, grouped under a schedule track named for the folder. From there, these details stay in step with Slate on every sync:
- Name, description, and start and end times
- All-day setting, location, and address
- Schedule track
Bates College's open house is an example of the schedule this fills. Parking and a campus map sit beside the day's sessions.
New events in the folder appear as sessions. Events you delete in Slate are removed. Nothing gets edited twice.
What's copied once, and what stays yours
The mistake is assuming every field keeps updating. Names, times, locations, and descriptions do. A smaller set is copied once, the first time the session is created, and then the sync leaves it alone. Images, rank, and ratings are never copied. You set those in Builder.
| The field | What the sync does with it | Where you change it after that |
|---|---|---|
| Name, description, times, all-day, location, address, schedule track | Updated on every sync. New events are added, and deleted events are removed | In Slate. The guide follows |
| Capacity, login requirement, add-to-schedule, waitlist, registration dates | Copied once, and only when the Slate event has a capacity | In Builder. The sync will not touch them again |
| Online event URLs, recording URLs, registrant and attendee counts | Not imported | They stay in Slate |
That split is why a capacity you change in Slate next month will not move the session. The first copy already happened. If the room changes, change it in Slate. If the waitlist rules change, change them in Builder.
Registrants, handled
When someone completes registration in Slate, they land on that guide's Users list with a status of Created. If they already have a Guidebook account, that account is added. If they don't, one is created first. A change you make to that user in Builder does not change their registration in Slate.
Pausing the connection stops the sync. Removing it stops the sync and leaves the sessions already in the guide. You still can't delete an imported session, or the track and location the sync created, from Builder. Delete the event in Slate, and the next sync removes the session.
Slate leads, Builder follows
The sync runs one way, from Slate to Guidebook. One folder feeds one guide, and each guide receives events from one folder, so there's never a question of where an event lives. Build it in Slate, and the guide stays true to the plan.
Bowdoin's homecoming guide is the track view. The weekend is split into tracks, with a personal schedule beside the full list.

The folder is worth linking on the days that decide the year, which is the difference between an Open House and an Admitted Student Day. Manchester's open day is one picture of a campus day run from a single app. Map one folder to one guide, and the next room change has one home.
